Abstract Background Fluralaner, a novel isoxazoline, has both acaricidal and insecticidal activity through potent blockage of GABA- and L-glutamate-gated chloride channels.This study investigated the in vitro and in vivo effects of fluralaner exposure on flea (Ctenocephalides felis) reproduction.Methods Blood spiked with sub-insecticidal fluralaner
A new low-pressure plasma-based approach to activate the surface of USB Power BN nanoparticles (BNNPs) in order to facilitate the attachment of folate acid (FA) molecules for cancer-specific therapy is described.Plasma treatment of BNNPs (BNNPsPT) was performed in a radiofrequency plasma reactor using ethylene and carbon dioxide monomers.The carbox
Manguezais caracterizam-se por apresentarem amplas variações ambientais (principalmente de salinidade, irradiância e teor de oxigênio) e possuírem substrato relativamente instável, o que exige adaptações específicas dos organismos para habitar com sucesso este ambiente.O presente estudo procura, principalmente, contribuir com o conheciment
